This is a Dyson Medic tutorial for the trade or public on how to replace the small bearing on your Dyson DC24 ball vacuum cleaner. The ball of a Dyson DC24 runs on two bearings. Looking at the machine from the front, the small one we are talking about is on the left, and a […]

Yes, you read that right! Cyclone gasket seals are available at last! You can buy them now for the DC18, DC24, DC25, DC27 and DC33. It has always been a pain when you strip down a Dyson cyclone for refurbishment, there is this little wafer thin gasket in there. The problem is it is often […]

I am going to discuss what we have typically found wrong with Dyson digital Airblade motors (such as in the AB01 and AB03) when repairing these machines.

So you want an extra-long flex for your Dyson? Maybe you want a replacement flex for your Kirby? You are in luck too! Some call it a cord, lead, wire or cable – its a tomato tomarto thing. We say flex. Technically, Dyson do not supply extra length flexes for their machines. Of course, you […]

I have opined for some time about the unavailability of Dyson DC25 brushroll motors. Why Dyson chose to use Johnson motors that have proved to be less than stellar is anyone’s guess. Why they continue to use them in the DC41 and other machines is also a mystery. I am referring to the Johnson DC771(2)XLLG ones that allegedly only […]

For the lady who left a comment here today requesting how to access the clutch on her DC04, I was going to put up a tutorial. However, I found a video that showed how to do it very well indeed. So I didn’t need to make one. The video was produced by Alec Nelson over at Vacuum Spot in […]
